Chlorociboria aeruginascens is a saprobic species of mushroom that causes green staining of wood. The fungus is called green elfcup or the green wood cup because of its characteristic small, green, saucer-shaped fruit bodies. The wood has been used in decorative woodworking as long ago as the 15th century in Italy, where it was used in intarsia panels made by Fra Giovanni da Veroni. The fungus commonly attacks hardwoods such as oak, beech and hazel.
